GOOD BOOKS AT A BARGAIN. 



In our issue for June 15 we gave a list of good 

 books that we offered at very low prices because they 

 were, the most of them, old. The little book Poultry 

 for Pleasure and Poultry for Profit that we offered 

 there for 10 cts. you may have for 5. There are 

 only six coi^ies left. 



The book Silk and the Silkworm that we offered 

 there for 10 cts. you may also have, postpaid, for 

 5 cts. 



Merrybanks and His Neighbor, which we offered 

 for 10 cts., you may have for 5 cts. As the postage 

 v/ill be pretty near 5 cts. there will be no profit; but 

 I think the book may do good. The same with the 

 Story of Art Smith, the boy who made a flying- 

 machine. We offered that also for 10 cts. You 

 may now have it (a 25-cent book) for 5, postpaid. 



Prof. Cook's book. Injurious Insects of Michigan, 

 which we offered for only a nickel, postpaid, you 

 can have for tliat now, but we cannot rc/'i/ well 

 make any reduction. 



GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



We have four copies left of the book The New 

 Agriculture; or, the Waters Led Captive. It is a 

 S2.00 book, but as the four copies were damaged 

 by getting wet (but not so much but that it can 

 bo read easily), we offer them at 25 cts. each. 



T. B. terry's WRITINGS. 



Since the death of Mr. Terry, as a matter of 

 course his books (particularly his potato book) 

 are being read with renewed interest. This book 

 passed thru three editions of 10,000 each, and was 

 revised and enlarged a few years ago. The price 

 is 50 cts. in paper, and 75 in cloth — postage extra. 

 We will for the present mail them at the above 

 price, postpaid. See our Book Notices for June 1 

 for a description. The strawberry book, written not 

 long after the potato book, has also had a great 

 sale, and went thru two editions. We offer it no.v 

 bound in cloth (former price 75 cts.) for 60 cts.; 

 paper, 40 cts., postpaid. 



Not long after the potato book appeared there was 

 so much inquiry in regard to the best methods of 

 growing clover to turn under for both potatoes and 

 strawberries that Terry put out a little book entitled 

 The Winter Care of Horses and Cattle. This has 

 heretofore sold at 40 cts., postage extra ; but we 

 have so large a stock on hand that we offer it now 

 for only 10 cts. 



T. B. Terry's new book, " How to Keep Well and 

 Live Long." Altho the above is a dollar book, by 

 buying them by the hundred we are enabled to 

 make the price 90 cents; and my opinion of it now 

 is just about the same as it was when I wrote 

 the following and placed it in our book list : 

 " The above book by T. B. Terry is, in my opinion, 

 destined to relieve more pain, sickness, and death 

 than any other book in the whole world that has 

 ever come 'o my knowledge. That is pretty strong 

 language, I admit ; but since Terry commenced, 

 years ago, to urge the importance of pure air, pure 

 water, and a simple diet of good simple food, in 

 moderate quantities, the whole wide world, doctors 

 included, seems to be gradually falling in with him. 

 Of course other good and wise men commenced a 

 similar crusade for better health long before Terry 

 did; but he seems to have a happy faculty for getting 

 hold of people and keeping their attention. After 

 you once start in with the book you will be pretty 

 sure to read it to the end, and you will ever after 

 be a better and happier man or woman for having 

 read it." We have a special low price for clubbing 

 with Gleanings— that is, both for $1.50. If you 

 have already paid for Gleanings a year or more in 

 advance you can have the book for 75 cents post- 

 paid. Since it first came out, only a short time ago, 

 we have sold nearly 1000 copies. 



MISCELLANEOUS HANDBOOKS BY OTHER AUTHORS. 



The A B C of Carp Culture. While not very 

 much is now being said about carp culture, the 

 directions in this book for making ponds and for
